HEADLINE-GRABBER ABT KEEPS ITS POWDER DRY

Such was the pace of team-mates Daniel Abt and Lucas di Grassi in the second test at Donington Park that the Audi Sport Abt outfit had a deliberately low-key final outing before preparing to ship its Abt Schaeffler FE01s to China.

Both drivers lowered the previous unofficial lap record in the second test, with di Grassi's 1m29.920s the first sub-1m30s lap for the series at the track, and phrases like "a step ahead" and "everything is under control" dominated the debriefs.
